Feel like this belongs to the website, can be a separate file to download or inlined in .md file. See https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo-site/blob/release/content/getting-started/install/windows.md

Hi @Thepathakarpit, as a quick heads up, I am not a Windows user and do not know a lot about the best practices. I like the idea of simplifying Windows installs, but I am not sure if adding another script is the solution here since we already have a GNUmakefile for sth similar. I know that one can install GNU make via chocolatey and I assume it works similar to the linux version? I don't know how the integration for batch files is there but to hide the complexity and yet another script in the tree, maybe it's possible to go GNUmakefile way?

I agree. We should continue to support scoop as the expected way to install tinygo on Windows. Any issues (extra dependencies, etc) can be handled by the scoop json configuration.

@Thepathakarpit Did you have any specific issues with the scoop installer?
